I had the same thing, took a little longer than 2 years for my sides to lock up. Im almost at 3 years and not fully done yet. I think those lumps will only form with the hair that you already got and when they grow out they will be less wild.

Dont really know what to say, but try to just dont give a fuck about your hair, and talking about fucks. Sex does speed up the progress, lol

I have the same.. or should i say, i had the same in almost all of my dreads and i havent seen sun i a really long time now. Im washing with Dreadlocksshampoo now tho and this white stuff is almost completely gone in all of my dreads exept the big one at the left side of my head, so im pretty sure this is infact from the use of baking soda.

actualy the tips often get lighter in color from being tir=ed up in summer sun

baking soda cannot build up it tuirns to gasses if u were mixing baking soda and acv or not rinsing between the 2 it might have damaged the hair

but to me that looks like typical sin bleaching or 'highlighting" baking sioda if too weakl can leave a gr=ey dead slkin paste at the roots

not the tips

it might be a good time to switch tho i found long term use of the baking soda seemed to weaken my hair wich is waty stronger now that i use dreadlockshampoo.com

When i started it was all about looks, ive see dreads on people and especially when i was a litte kid i saw this guy with dreads to his knees and i always wanted dreads since then.

But when i started the journey something inside me just felt like this were the right way to go, i wasnt believieng in anything. I hated to cut my hair, and i hated to "fix" my hair everytime i were about to go outside the door.

Im too tired to write anymore lol, but this is just the way to go for me. I love dreads, i dont wanna "style" my hair and i get anxiuos everytime i cut it.
